Waldorf Wig Making (again)

When Bub asked for a Waldorf doll for his birthday last year, it was late. And when I finally finished, months after his birthday, I had no more energy for the hair. Until now.

Most instructions tell you to wind yarn around something x number of times, then cut, and loop onto the wig (or sew together, and then sew resulting piece on to doll's head). The problem I have with this is that when the strands are all (approximately) the same length, it's way shorter in one spot than the other, resulting in a funky looking hairstyle. So for this doll's hair, the longest strands were 12" long in the back, and 18" in the very front. I tried the blend the sides to slowly lengthen/shorten. Doing a french braid did not work, I lack the skills, apparently even with an immobile doll with sticky hair. But a pony tail is within my abilities. A few strands were a bit too long again, so I chopped about two or three inches off the front, but other than that, perfect!
